His figures, indeed, are so much above the ordinary run as to deserve the distinction of a line to them­ selves. An average of 82 for twenty com ­ pleted innings does not come under one’s notice every year. Mr. Stoddart's batting record for Hampstead is as under—■ Innings, N ot out. T otal. j’M o s tin ln n s . Average. 20 0 1,655 485 82.15 This will take some beating, I fancy. By the way, I see that Mr. Stoddart was to the fore again on Saturday. Playing in a match of the Hampstead Club for Broom ­ sticks against Bats he retired after scoring 110. A score of over a hundred under such circumstances is something very near if not an actual record, I should think. O 1 Y es . 0 ! Yes. This is to give notice that the Weekly Summer Issues for this year close with the present Number, the One Hundred and Thirty-sixth appear­ ance of C ricket . I may add that this is the completion of the Fifth Year of the Paper as a Weekly. For the benefit of all whom it may concern, I may, too, further state that the Winter Numbers will, as usual, be published on the last Thursday of the month up to March, commencing on the 28th of October next.

[The following is from the Daily News of yesterday.] Cricket dies hard in these unusually bright September days, but it can hardly be said that the closing portion of the season has produced anything out of the common. A match, how­ ever, which was played at Ealing last Friday and Saturday, is entitled to something more than passing notice from the fact that one side was collected from a single family, twelve Hearnes meeting and having all the best of a drawn game with Ealing Dean. At the head of this notable twelve was the veteran Thomas Hearne, who on the fourth of the present month completed his GOth year, but who is yet alert and vigorous, and still retains his position as chief of the ground bowlers at Lord’s. Tom Hearne, as he has always been called, was a member of theteamwhich went out to Australia under H. H. Stephenson’s captaincy in 1861, that being the first visit of English cricketers to the Colonies, and the mention of his name recalls pleasant memories of the All England and United All England matches at Lord’s—matches which for keenness of rivalry have only been equalled in our own day by the meetings of England and Australia* Thomas Hearne’s sons have never obtained celebrity in the cricket-field, though one of them is afair player, but three of his nephews, George Gibbons, Frank, and Alec Hearne, are to-day among the most valued members of the Kent eleven. All three were playing in the match at Ealing, and George Gibbons Hearne, who, after a dozen years of first-class cricket, is perhaps a better batsman now than ever ho was before, accomplished quite a startling performance, going in first and taking out his bat for 84 in the first innings, and scoring 160in the second, his play indeed being the one special feature of a game that was not otherwise eventful. The circumstance of one family putting a complete side into the cricket field is by no means so rare as might at firstbe thought likely. The family of which Mr. Stanley Christopherson, the Kent fast bowler, is the best known niember, continually play matches against amateur clubs in the neighbourhood cf Blackheath; eleven Lucases played some years ago at Horsham, and other instances of the same kind could easily be men­ tioned. Most remarkable of all, perhaps, was a match played in ^.ugust, 1867, at Hagley, in Worcestershire, wrhen the late Lord Lyttelton captained a side which consisted of himself, his two brothers and his eight sons. The opposing team was Bromsgrove School, and the eleven Lytteltons gained an easy victory by ten wickets. Not the least interesting point- in connection with that memorable game was the appearance of the Hon. Alfred Lyttelton, then a boy ten years of age. The young cricketer, who nine years afterwards was to be universally acknowledged as the greatest amateur wicket-keeper of his day, made by no means an inglorious clSbut , going in towards the end of the innings and scoring 14. Of the late Lord Lyttelton’s eight sons, all but one appeared at Lord’s for Eton against Harrow ; and the one who failed, the Hon. and Rev. A. V. Lyttelton, would probably have obtained the same distinction but for the fact of leaving school early through ill-health. Twenty years ago the Walkers, of Southgate, could no doubt have put into the field a stronger eleven than was possessedby any other family; and we have a faint recollection of a match at a still earlier date in which eleven Cassarstook part—the famous Julius Ciesar, of the Surrey eleven, and his various relatives.
